Announcing the slate of candidates for 2026 Directors

[WSBA President]

Dear WSBA Community,

As a follow up to my email on Monday, I’m excited to share the 2026 Board of Directors Slate that will be presented for election. These individuals bring passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to bicycle racing in our region. We look forward to introducing each of them in more detail during the meeting - and we are still actively searching to fill several vacant slots.

Thank you! First, join me in thanking the outgoing board members including David Chipchase (Director Southwest Region), Adrian Koukoulas (Director West Region), Mike Sirott (Director Officials) and Steve Westover (Juniors Director but also back filling the Cross Director role) for their service. They have truly given so much time and energy to moving forward our cause! Huge shoutout to these great people. It has been an honor to work along side you these past three years.
